Premieres December 2, 2026, on Apple TV
The Florida crime comedy Bad Monkey returns for a second season, bringing back Andrew Yancy and another collection of strange characters, criminal rivalries, and trouble in the Sunshine State.
After witnessing the murder of Florida’s most notorious fixer, Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn) finds himself pulled into another complicated investigation. An ambitious state attorney pairs him with a by-the-book forensic accountant to help solve the crime. But what begins as a murder investigation soon draws Yancy into a turf war between rival criminal organizations.
Along the way, he encounters an eccentric collection of Florida personalities, including an intellectual mob boss, his unpredictable son, and a tough young woman who needs Yancy’s protection. His personal life isn’t any less complicated, either. Yancy must deal with his aging father, lingering romantic feelings for Dr. Rosa Campesino (Natalie Martinez), and Rosa’s own investigation into a mysterious rash. Adding to the chaos is an outspoken animal relocation specialist whose business could put the local environment at risk.
